Any idea what group did it?

[–]magnora7 17 insightful - 6 fun17 insightful - 5 fun18 insightful - 6 fun -  (28 children)

Yes it seems based on some loose evidence I've gathered that a group didn't like the new OnA group that came to saidit, and DDOS'd saidit in an attempt to silence them.

Now I feel morally obligated to support OnA, even though I have zero interest in their community.

We appreciate it, even if we say off color things to the locals sometimes

This is probably a member of a group that:

OnA?

The new Opie and Anthony sub which took over the front page.

[–]feelthebern44 9 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 1 fun10 insightful - 2 fun -  (10 children)

could it just be that the newcomers overloaded the servers and the ddos was unintentional? i can't imagine OnA having that many enemies

No it's definitely intentional, the IP addresses that had 20+ connections (instead of the usual 1 or 2) all have the same first 6 numbers.

I guess they do have enemies like that. I think that's why they got banned from reddit. They got targeted. Then to "further the ban" they DDOS'd saidit. That's what seems to have happened.

Are they Wisconsin IP addresses? If so, it’s that fat faggot Patrick

[–]magnora7 6 insightful - 3 fun6 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

I saw Miami, Virginia, Toronto, Russia, and a few others. It was all over the map, almost certainly a VPN

      I mean,if they make it looks like "too many OA sub users lead to the site down",it maybe more successful for their purpose.

      [–]FormosaOolong 7 insightful - 4 fun7 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 4 fun -  (1 child)

      So a bunch of hostile idiots took down a whole community bc they don't like a couple of people in it? Sounds like every war ever.

      [–]magnora7 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

      Heh interesting point.

      We just got caught in the crossfire as far as I can tell

      That's really dumb xD glad it's all sorted.

      [–]deleted 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Yeah, in hindsight it seems saidit is still having these kinda of problems unfortunately.

      [–]Snow 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

      Evidence ... Where is it?

      [–]deleted 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      In the saidit logs.

      [–]GeriatricBovine 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

      Could you link some of this evidence? Just for academic purposes.

      [–]magnora7 5 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 2 fun6 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

      I'd rather not give the attackers any more prominence. I don't want this to become a "thing"

      [–]GeriatricBovine 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)
